zd1211 chipset support?

[Derek Frye <frye0031 umn edu>]

Using a ppc and the latest zd1211 svn snapshot from 
http://zd1211.ath.cx/zd1211:

In FC4 (with latest updates): NM doesn't seem to recognize my zd1211 
based usb adapter (wlan0). I can connect to wireless networks using 
iwconfig though, and iwlist wlan0 scanning shows the correct output.

In Ubuntu Dapper Drake: NM (version 0.4.1+cvs20050817 from the universe 
repository) shows the adapter as a wired adapter. So, if I set wireless 
parameters with iwconfig NM does the rest. I could build and install the 
latest 0.5.1 NM snapshot, but nm-applet wouldn't start (don't remember 
the exact message it complained with) so I couldn't test a recent version.

Do these issues and inconsistencies stem from problems with the zd1211 
driver or NM?
